Image: Dollar General’s shares have been under considerable pressure the past couple years. 

Dollar General cut its outlook for fiscal 2024. Net sales growth is now expected in the range of 4.7%-5.3% compared to its previous expectation of 6%-6.7%. Same store sales growth is now anticipated in the range of 1%-1.6%, compared to previous expectations of 2%-2.7%. Diluted earnings per share are now targeted in the range of $5.50-$6.20, compared to prior expectations of $6.80-$7.55. Shares of Dollar General plummeted on the news, and we see no reason to jump into the name, particularly given the competitive market environment, with Walmart likely gaining share.
